Strategy& fish - i’m currently recruiting for org strategy. Ive talked to associates (in the healthcare practice) and theyve mentioned that it doesnt matter whether youre in corp strategy, org strategy, etc and that you’re pretty much pooled by industry when it comes to staffing.
Can someone confirm this? Also, what do you expect the restructuring to look like?

First tip.. get off FB. I needed that deck an hour ago. And I'm busy... looking at FB.
I would say just communicate. They won't know when you need a touchpoint because they have bigger fish to fry so the onus is on you to stay on top of it.
Might be worth managing up a bit. Bring up the issue you mentioned and ask who is going to take the day to day mgmt that you can ask questions because your still new. They know the potential issues with this structure way better than you do.
I just set up a morning and afternoon touchpoint with the Directors. You can set up a 15 minute calendar meeting. It helps to set expectations.
Make sure you do reviews with both of them together otherwise you're going to be changing things back and forth and getting conflicting messaging
If that is the staffing model there is a reason. I'd guess that the work requires subject matter expertise. Good news- they should provide direction. Bad news- there are two of them and you need to balance their opinions plus your work will be judged on how quickly you"get it". Manage up hard and this could be great exposure for you.
Yeah, I just finished a project where my module had input directly from 3 Sr. Partners (I'm a consultant). The key is to manage the process well, as it gives a lot of confidence and keeps them from engaging too heavily on content. Make sure that you schedule touch points for them to provide input (IME, they will often skip calls, which is a good sign). Do good work, but also make sure that you show confidence in the work and keep executive level to the extent possible. Most important thing to keep them happy is to incorporate their feedback or let them know WHY if not. Senior people get pissy if they feel you are wasting their input.
Agree with SA1. We can be hard to manage. Keep them accountable and connected. That may not do it themselves.
